Symbols

The Symbols tab allows users to define how poles, vectors, and intersection points are displayed on stereonets.

Symbol Types

Each symbol type can be individually customized:

Pole Vectors — Poles displayed as pole vectors (perpendicular to planes)
Dip Vectors — Poles displayed as dip vectors
Critical Vectors — Poles within kinematic critical zones
Intersections (Grid) — Calculated intersections between poles
Critical Intersections (Grid) — Pole intersections within kinematic critical zones
Intersections (Other) — Calculated intersections between major planes (i.e., mean set planes and/or user planes)
Critical Intersections (Other) — Major plane intersections within kinematic critical zones
Traverses — Traverse measurement markers

Style — Shape of the symbol (Circle, Square, Diamond, Triangle, Cross, Asterisk, or None)
Border — Outline color of the symbol
Fill — Enable/disable interior fill
Fill color — Interior color when fill is enabled
Symbol scale — Size of this specific symbol type (0.1-10)

All Symbol Scale % — Multiplier applied to all symbols (25%-200%). Use this to quickly make all symbols larger or smaller.
